Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) is inviting community members, carers and service partners to a community conference on mental health and wellbeing in Dubbo on 22nd October.
This year’s community conference will include presentations and stallholder information on mental health services and wellbeing, improving health outcomes in communities and contemporary engagement models.
WNSWLHD Community Engagement Lead Jennifer Coote said she is thrilled with the line-up for the conference and looks forward to engaging with the community to improve the District’s mental health services. “The District is committed to ensuring access to safe, high-quality, timely and culturally safe mental health care for our community,” Ms Coote said.
“The conference is an opportunity for our staff to provide information about our mental health services and the good work being done by our teams, and also to really engage and collaborate with community members and other service providers.
“It’s a free event and with the theme of ‘Let’s talk about it’ we hope to have community members attending and getting involved on the day. It’s an opportunity for attendees to learn something new and maybe even take something back to their communities to implement locally.
“These discussions can really help to build relationships and trust between the Local Health District, our partners and communities and also help inform how we design and deliver services to meet the needs of our communities.”
The 2024 Community Conference will be held from 9.00am – 3.30pm, at the Dubbo RSL Memorial Club, 178 Brisbane Street, Dubbo. For more information and to register, visit https://engage.wnswlhd.health.nsw.gov.au/2024-community-conference.
